Before uploading the string, this method converts it to a Byte array using the encoding specified in the Encoding property. This method blocks while the string is transmitted. To send a string and continue executing while waiting for the server's response, use one of the UploadStringAsync methods.

If the BaseAddress property is not an empty string ("") and address does not contain an absolute URI, address must be a relative URI that is combined with BaseAddress to form the absolute URI of the requested data. If the QueryString property is not an empty string, it is appended to address.
